Robotic Arts: Current Practices, Potentials, and Implications

Humanoid robots have been successfully used in artistic research areas, and many works have studied and implemented systems for robotic dance. However, only few works take into account the human evaluation of these artistic outputs. This work makes a step in the direction of addressing the complex task of defining criteria for the evaluation of robotic dance performances. For this aim, in the context of a Master course on Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we have organized a challenge among our students and the winner is decided on the basis of a questionnaire we defined for robotic dance evaluation. In addition, we created a public dataset that maps the features of each choreography to the judgements provided by audience with different backgrounds on several evaluation targets. Then, we tested various Machine Learning models for predicting the audience evaluation, and we propose a choreography features importance analysis to help both human choreographers and AI algorithms to create dance performances with a major impact on the audience. We also suggest new directions for future interdisciplinary research.

This article focuses on the study of intelligent art resulting from the fusion growth of artificial intelligence and art, and proposes the process of collision and integration between them. At the same time, this paper explores the space and possibility of the fusion development of AI and art, illustrates how technology reconstructs and further inspires art design innovation. Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremony is selected as an example, to underline the application of AI technology in large-scale visual art design. In addition, it summarizes also the advantages and limitations of AI applications in art, analyzes the opportunities and challenges facing the integration of such technology and art, and discusses their future development and outlook.

Artistic Robotic Painting Using the Palette Knife Technique

This paper presents a novel robotic painting system able to create artworks using the palette knife technique. The implementation of this method with a robotic system is particularly challenging, since the robot needs to precisely manipulate the palette knife to pick up and release the color on the canvas. The painting system comprises a 6-DOF collaborative robot, a camera to acquire the information on the color position, and several algorithms for the artistic rendering of the images and for the planning of the trajectories that the robot has to follow. During the painting process the user can modify multiple parameters: both software, for example, stroke position and orientation, and hardware, for example, palette knife inclination and height, to obtain different stroke effects. Finally, the experimental results are discussed by analyzing the artworks painted by the novel robotic system.
